Casual Wednesday. . .

 

 

Following a mid-morning thunderstorm, it's a warm one here today with temperatures expected to reach the mid-80s Fahrenheit, so a mix of silk-linen-wool on top with cotton chinos, loafers, and the usual trimmings plus a new pocket square, which I believe is vintage rayon.  

The jacket too is a vintage number from Polo that has been around in my overflow closet in the TV room (across the hall from our bedroom) since before the pandemic.  I finally got around to taking it in for the usual minor alterations late last month and figured today was just the time to take it for an inaugural spin before the weather changes and cools appreciably by the weekend.  

Already had some favorable feedback from a few observers today, which ain't a bad thing.

  1. Very nice outfit, Heinz-Ulrich. I too like those wool/linen/silk tweeds this time of year, and I recently bought a brown knit tie very similar to the one you are wearing in the photo. I will need to put the tie and a "summer tweed" together soon while waiting for the coming fall chill and the return of woolen flannel and tweed.

All opinions are welcome here. Even those that differ from mine. But let's keep it clean and civil, please.

The Power of Ideas. . .

  T he end is nigh!  The autumn semester/term approaches.  And while we still have almost two months of summer left according to the calendar, "Summer is over and gone," as the crickets sang in Charlotte's Web .  At least for those of us who head back to the classroom in less than a month.   In advance of a meeting with my program director late Monday morning, I spent about 40 minutes total during the weekend to jot down several ideas about planned workshops and related activities for the coming 2024-2025 academic year.  At an opportune moment, I mentioned "I have a few ideas," and opened my leather portfolio.   My director was highly receptive to almost everything I suggested, and we had a very productive planning session for just over 90 minutes.  Just about everything I sketched out on Sunday aligns with his own ideas.  It's nice when meetings go that well, and two related things occur to me in hindsight. One, it pays to exercise...

CSA Pick-Up Style. . .

I t's getting to be that time in the summer!  Yep, the garden fresh vegetables are starting to come in.  Picked up the first half-share of the Grand Duchess' Summer 2024 community supported agriculture allotment late yesterday (Thursday) afternoon.  Some delicious looking items that will make a nice salad for dinner this evening.  Meanwhile, the Grand Duchess and Young Master are across Lake Michigan in Wisconsin visiting cousins for the next several days and attending a large annual airshow. while yours truly holds down the fort. More of the usual summertime fare in the attire photos featured.  This particular shirt, while it has not appeared here in quite some time, is one of my favorites.  An item that has been in the seasonal rotation for a dozen years or more.  It ironed up nicely before I put it on and tucked it in.  The chino shorts (with a 6" inseam. . .  I know, I know.) are one of many such khaki pairs currently occupying the bottom...

A Box of Mercer Goodness. . .

    D uring a day already full of pleasant surprises, these arrived via UPS late this afternoon.  About a month before I expected them.  Yes!  Looking very forward to their inaugural wearings in just a few weeks when we're back on campus. -- Heinz-Ulrich
